The Mercury Dime was released by the US Mint in 1916 as a replacement for the Barber Dime, which had reached its required 25 years of production. Officially known as the Winged Liberty Head Dime, the coin was designed by Adolph A. Weinman after he won a competition to introduce new artistic styles to American coinage. This 1929-D Mercury Dime boasts the coveted FB designation with a satin-like, silver luster throughout. Right now, the 1929-D Mercury Dime is available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The 1929-D Mercury Dime offered here comes in Mint State 65 condition with a coveted FB designation. Unique to Mercury and Roosevelt Dimes, the FB designation means Full Bands and refers to the central horizontal bands on the fasces. The bands show a superior, high-quality strike with full separation of the bands and no breaks or abrasions. The coin has a soft, bluish-gray and pale gold luster on the reverse, with lighter silver highlights on the devices.
The 1929-D Mercury Dime from Denver represents one of the scarcer regular-issue dates from the late 1920s, with a mintage of only 5,034,000 pieces. This relatively low production makes it more difficult to locate than its Philadelphia counterpart, particularly in higher grades. Collectors especially prize examples with strong strikes showing complete separation of the horizontal bands on the fasces, as Denver Mint coins of this era often exhibited weakness in striking.
The obverse of the 1929-D Mercury Dime portrays Liberty in a youthful left-facing profile, wearing a winged Phrygian cap that represents freedom of thought. Weinman’s interpretation is widely respected for its elegance and attention to detail, including the flowing hair of Liberty and the carefully defined wings of the cap. “LIBERTY” is displayed along the rim, with “IN GOD WE TRUST” located near the neck and the date positioned beneath.
On the reverse, the 1929-D Mercury Dime features a Roman fasces, symbolizing unity and strength derived from the binding of individual states. An olive branch rests across the fasces, reflecting peaceful intent alongside national strength. The inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “ONE DIME” complete the design, which carried particular significance during the wartime years of its circulation.
